Hi, Monica. I'm so glad you've had such a positive experience with Kurzweil.
Of course, that's what I use and I expected nothing less. <smile> I'm glad
you're liking it, and if you can ever get your hands on a full version, I
know you won't be disappointed. I've never had OpenBook, and the only one
I've ever used was Ruby way back when. <smile> I've been using Kurzweil
since version 6, though, and love it. Take care.
Julie Morales
